Legends of tap performed at Valley High; Vacancy filled on Westbrook BOF

25 years ago: The Copasetics, legends of tap dancing, performed at Valley Regional High School in Deep River at the High School and at John Winthrop Junior High School thanks to a program that was sponsored by a community support group. The Copasetics were a loosely-knit band of jazz tap dancers dedicated to the memory and legacy of Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, who gave the meaning hunky-dory to “copasetic.”

25 years ago: Claire Anthony Smith was appointed to fill the vacant Republican seat on the Board of Finance in Westbrook. The vacancy was left when Robert H. Kindt Jr. had tendered his resignation from the board in July 1986 citing personal reasons.
